Centralized Exchanges (CEX)
Centralized exchanges (CEX) are online platforms where you can buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies. These platforms are managed by companies and operate similarly to traditional stock exchanges. When using a centralized exchange, you'll need to create an account and verify your identity, as per regulations. Examples of popular CEX include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
Wallets
Wallets are digital tools used to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies.

Each wallet type offers different levels of security and convenience. It's essential to choose a wallet that suits your needs and preferences.
